How to Use Maya Mountain Chlorine Dioxide Tablets for Disinfection
How to use Maya Mountain Chlorine Dioxide tablets to make a 100 ppm solution for low-odor, no-rinse surface and container disinfection.
Quick answer
- One tablet per liter of water makes roughly a 100 ppm chlorine dioxide solution for surfaces and containers.
- It is low-odor, leaves no residue, and is generally a no-rinse option for most surfaces.
- Use it for homes, rentals, vehicles, and small businesses.
- This is for cleaning and disinfection, not for internal use.
Overview
Maya Mountain Chlorine Dioxide tablets give you a simple way to make your own disinfection solution from plain water. One tablet in one liter of water creates a 100 ppm working solution you can use on hard, non‑porous surfaces and containers around your home, rentals, vehicles, and small business.
The goal is straightforward: broad‑spectrum disinfection and odor control, with low odor from the solution itself, no sticky residue, and a generally no‑rinse experience on most hard surfaces.

Mixing a 100 ppm solution (1 tablet : 1 liter)
The basic mix is always the same:
- Add 1 tablet to 1 liter of clean water.
- Allow the tablet to fully dissolve and activate before using the solution.
- Clearly label your bottle or container (for example: "Maya Mountain ClO₂ – 100 ppm").
You can pour this mix into spray bottles for surfaces, keep it in a bucket for mopping and wiping, or use it to rinse containers and small tanks.
Best practice: the solution is strongest when it is fresh. For everyday use, mix what you expect to use that day or that week instead of making a large batch to sit for a long time.

Disinfecting hard, non‑porous surfaces (no‑rinse, no‑residue)
Maya Mountain Chlorine Dioxide is designed for hard, non‑porous surfaces such as tile, sealed stone, most countertops, fixtures, and many plastics and metals.
Typical surface uses
- Kitchen counters, sinks, taps, and fridge handles
- Bathroom basins, toilets, tiles, and shower areas
- Door handles, light switches, railings, and other high‑touch points
- Tables, worktops, and other wipeable surfaces in rentals and small businesses
How to use on surfaces
- Apply the 100 ppm solution (spray or wipe) until the surface is evenly wet.
- Allow a few minutes of contact time so the solution can do its work.
- On most hard, non‑porous surfaces, you can simply let it air‑dry.
Because the solution dries clear and does not rely on heavy soaps or quats, it does not leave the sticky film or slippery feel that many conventional cleaners do. On food‑contact surfaces, or anywhere you prefer a final rinse, you can always follow with a quick wipe of clean water after the contact time.
Always check compatibility and test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate coatings or finishes.

Disinfecting water containers and small tanks
Many households, guesthouses, and small operations rely on containers and small tanks for drinking water or RO/rainwater. Over time, these can build up film and odor.
You can use the 100 ppm solution to help disinfect:
- Drinking‑water jugs, coolers, and dispensers
- Small tanks and reservoirs for RO or rainwater systems
- Reusable water containers used around the home or property
How to use for containers
- Fill or thoroughly rinse the container with the 100 ppm solution.
- Let it sit for a period to allow disinfection (for example, several minutes or as suits your cleaning routine).
- Drain completely.
- If you prefer, finish with a brief rinse of clean water before putting the container back into use.
This approach helps reduce microbial build‑up and stale odors inside the container so it stays fresher between deep cleans.

Odor control in bins, closets, and vehicles
Because chlorine dioxide targets odor‑causing residues rather than just covering them with fragrance, it is useful wherever smells tend to build up on hard surfaces.
Common odor‑control uses
- Garbage bins and compost buckets (inside and outside surfaces)
- Mop buckets and utility sinks
- Closets, storage rooms, and other small spaces with wipeable surfaces
- Hard surfaces inside vehicles such as steering wheels, door pulls, and consoles (test materials first)
How to apply
- Spray or wipe the 100 ppm solution onto the relevant hard surfaces.
- Allow contact time and good ventilation while it dries.
Pairing the solution with a general clean‑up (removing trash, opening windows, running a fan) gives the best result. The idea is to reduce what is feeding the smell, not just cover it with a strong scent.

Best practices and safety notes
To keep things simple and safe, keep these points in mind:
- Mix fresh for best results – For strongest performance, mix what you plan to use that day or that week. The solution gradually loses strength over time, especially if exposed to light, heat, or frequent opening.
- Do not mix with other strong chemicals – Use the solution on its own. Do not combine it with bleach, acids, or other strong cleaners.
- Keep out of reach of children – Store tablets and mixed solution safely away from children and pets.
- For surfaces and containers only – This product and the information here are for disinfection of hard, non‑porous surfaces and containers. It is not intended for ingestion or for treating any health condition.
Used with these simple guidelines, Maya Mountain Chlorine Dioxide tablets offer a low‑odor, no‑residue, generally no‑rinse way to maintain cleaner, fresher surfaces and containers in your home, rentals, vehicles, and small business.
